    From command line you can try to do "ALTER USER", using "-c" switch
of psql, eg like this:

psql -c "ALTER USER test WITH PASSWORD 'test';" template1

Hi,

I am not sure about the command line option, but the password for any user
can be set using ALTER USER sql command.

ALTER USER my_user ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'my_pass';

also refer the documentation for details.

bhuvaneswaran.

Could you explain primary and secondary passwords?
How can I create primary passwords?

Is a lack of security using only this secondary passwords?

Tks

Primary passwords are stored in pg_shadow.  We will not even support
secondary passwords in 7.3 so don't worry about them.  It was an old
idea to allow /etc/passwd to function in PostgreSQL, but the idea wasn't
very valuable.
